WHAT ARE WE LIVING FOR?

What are we living for? Like do you ever wonder …

“what’s the point of all this”?

Ugh, Life! What is the purpose of ones life? The roller coaster of good seasons and bad seasons. Its so overwhelming sometimes!

You know, we go through our journey and each of us walk down a different path. We each experience missed opportunities, and opportunities that open doors to blessings! Life is filled with little experiences, the cultures were introduced to, the food we eat, the family that raises us, and the impact they have on us as we get older. But still we ask “what’s the point”? I mean we don’t get to choose our paths or do we?

I have lived the past 7 years trying to ignore everything I’ve ever been taught and allow strangers from all walks of life to share their experiences and journey with me and I’ve listened with the intent to learn something new. Or atleast to see life through someone else’s eyes. And can I just say. It’s fascinating how different we all truly are!

But what’s the point of the journey? Is it all about reaching our goals? Is it the job? the money? The car? The house? The family? What should we focus on? Is it in our hustle & grind or our accomplishments?

What do you think?

And even if and when we have accomplished all “the things”, what is there left to do next? Are we supposed to just keep chasing the next thing? Fill the voids of being alone with our wins? Or share them with loved ones who come and go in and out of our life? To just constantly chase people, things, places, love, or for just a little attention and a small taste of pleasure? Like what’s the point of this life anyway?!? The chase? The human experience? What’s it for?

And if we’re all on a different hunan experience, why do we fight, and have so much division in our world today? Will humans ever be able to live in harmony with one another, helping, teaching, loving, and sharing our experiences? Will we find a way to help one another with love, compassion, and respect rather than with a desire for power and wrath?

These were the questions I asked myself this past weekend as I layed in a hospital bed scared to hear the test results of the CT SCAN. After being rushed to the emergency room from a “squeezing chest pain”. My life flashed before my eyes! “I’m 45, I eat healthy, exercise, pray, do all the things, so why me? The worry didn’t end there! My next worry was obviously…”What will happen to my daughter’s if I’m gone”?

All the questions that come rushing up when we haven’t planned for the upcoming, unpredictable events that come crashing into our life like a tornado!

Eventually, my daughter’s would get over the loss. But this experience would definitely impact them for the rest of their life. What will they do with that impact? Will they spend their time trying to fix what the doctors couldn’t? Would they numb it with drugs, alcohol and other recreational activities or substances? Well, thank God we don’t have to find out, (not yet anyway) because I’m not finished with my work here.

I was released and sent home with medications! Which I’m not fond of. Since I prefer a more organic and holistic approach to healing. But here I am!

Guess, what I’m trying to say is, life will happen, no matter what road you choose or hand you get delt. So, don’t kill yourself over a few bad choices, or for not choosing a different route.

I no longer feel that life is just about the journey, I believe it’s what you decide to do ‘WITH-IN’ the journey that matters most.

“Dont loss hope, embrace the journey your on, and always listen to the little lessons and blessings life offers you!.”

WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU CREATING???

If you are a single mom you might understand what I’m about to say. But I hope every parent gets this….

What kind of adults are you creating? Even though my girls are older, there are so many moments when I sit back and just observe them from a distance. I hear them laughing in the next room together or see them dancing around the house, or just cuddling in bed together. I see how kind and humble they are to their friends. Even those who hurt them. But still, they stand strong and support one another! I can not explain the joy that rushes through me to know they love one another so much and always have each other’s back.

I must say, it was not easy to get these girls to respect each other. I had to give lots of tough love! And I still do! Even though it hurts me to do it. I’d do it all over again just to witness the love they share, just once. If I’m honest, I went through so much shit with their dad, that I missed out on a lot of years. I was NOT PRESENT.! I mean, not really.

PARENTS: If you are busy “getting busy” Its time to reevaluate how you use your time. You don’t get a do-over on bonding with your children. You can’t go back and make them small children, once their adults.

I get it! It’s hard to work a full-time job and raise kids on your own with little to no help. But let’s be honest, that’s just an excuse! People make time for other people and things when it benefits them! Or it’s convenient for them. It takes a very big person, and an even bigger soul to admit when we are falling short.

When I was with their father, I could have done better! I admit that! I could have done A lot better! I was not the best parent back then, but I make it my duty to be the greatest parent today! “The truth is we are all created. So, tell me, who and what are you creating???”

How to Embrace Your Journey and Live the Life YOU Want!

No one else can determine the kind of life you want for yourself, because we all experience life differently, and we are all unique in our own way. We each have gifts and talents, and those gifts and talents are used in a way that can only benefit you. So, today I hope this article helps you determine your uniqueness and so you can embrace your gifts!

First, acknowledgment! You must acknowledge all your gifts and all your talents. Good and bad. That’s right, even the ones you picked up along the way. The one’s you discovered in your pain. Acknowledge them so you can learn to Love them. This brings me to my second point…

You must learn to “Love your Uniqueness” and accept that you are different. Know that you are WONDERFULLY and perfectly made as you are right now!!! You are not your family, your friends, coworkers, or colleagues and that is okay. You may not have developed their gifts and talents, but you have your own attributes. You have qualities they don’t. Focus on yourself and learn to love yourself for how unique you truly are.

Third, you must forget the entire belief system that you have been living in. You must become NEW by rebirthing your true essence and embracing your true self. Your INNER BEING! By determining who that is, you can finally live the life you were meant to live! You inner being has ideas, emotions and an identity that is eager to thrive! It’s like, the real you inside is screaming because the life your living is not the life you know deep down to your core is the life your capable of having. There is more inside of you. That eagerness burning inside of you, can’t show up if you are too busy locking it in to everyone else’s philosophies. You must forget the dogma of those around you, and embrace your own principles, and live by those principles only.

When you open your heart to know yourself, you open yourself up to a whole new world. Here’s the thing, when you understand your pain and KNOW these three things, you step into an entirely different journey.  

  1. You Know how you got to “where you are”
  2. You Know “why you are” unique
  3. And You Know “who you are” meant to be

 When you are aware, you can finally discover a new meaning for life, and make peace with yourself, your family, your friends, and everyone else around you. By discovering a new person inside of “YOU” and loving that person with intention for life, you will be able to accept others for who they can become, and not who they are currently.

 You are not your circumstances and you are not limited to the world you see yourself in right now. You can have more! You can create a new life for yourself and for those around you. There is a light inside of you that is burning and yearning to come out! But the only way to really put it on display, is to recognize it for yourself. Reveal it to yourself first, than others will discover it too. Those close to you may not accept the new version of you in the beginning, and that is okay. If you are doing what feels good and right straight down to the very core of “your being”, you are safe to move forward without worry of judgment or discouragement!

You are safe to move forward without hesitation, without fear, without doubt and without the voices in your head telling you it is impossible or you are not qualified! Nothing is impossible for your unique journey, and you are qualified to be your unique self! Here are some steps to move you forward right now…

  1. Write down your options
  2. Ask your inner self (you don’t need permission or confirmation from others)
  3. Get grounded with your own intentions
  4. Eliminate distractions (anything that steers you in the opposite direction)
  5. Exercise and eat something that will provide energy to your body and stimulate your brain
  6. Get clarity and stay strong in your beliefs and keep the faith.

Listen, my faith gets me through every time! I may fall short, life might happen around me, and I may even stumble over a rock from time to time, but if I am connected to a higher source, (God, The Divine, the Universe, etc.) and that source will catch me every time! He will not forsake me, and he will always show me a better way. I know that deep down to my core, even when it is difficult to see for myself. I know sometimes it’s difficult to see over the mountain. But when we trust in the timing even though it is not NOW, better things come when you stop trying to control the universe. I “Believe” that I deserve success, therefore I will succeed. I Believe I will find true love therefore I will not settle for less, I believe I deserve all the things I desire in my heart. And even though I may not know exactly how I will acquire these things, I know I will receive all the blessings and more then I could imagine in my little mind.

You must believe, be grounded and have a strong foundation. And the only way to have all of that, is to determine your unique self and live the life you want, rather than the life everyone else wants.  When you are connected to a higher source, you know that source will catch you and guide you no matter what. This gives you the confidence you need to move you forward.

However, you must be constantly be grounded within your own uniqueness. KNOWKING that Divine things are constantly working “for you”, and not against you. Stop thinking things are bad and realize these bad things happen for you in order to put you on YOUR right path. Listen, you can make your choices, but your purpose will always be trying to rise above to move you toward the life you truly desire inside.

In other words, what you are seeing as “bad things happening”, is only viewed like that because you are so busy living a life that everyone else planned for you. You’ve made decisions that brought you to this vary point! No, it is not the life you want! And therefore, nothing is going your way and you see everything happening as “bad” because it is not happening from your true essence, but in fact is happening because you are following someone else’s path. When you realize, everything happens FOR you, and NOT to you, life begins to flow! When you stop listening to the voices around you and embrace your unique self and you trust in instincts, I promise, the things that begin to happen will shape the life you have always wanted, and then some!  

If you don’t determine your own gifts and talents now, and if you don’t embrace your uniqueness and weirdness, than you will always be living a life that is not yours and therefore you will always be living in lack and disapointment! You must begin living as if you KNOW everything is moving you forward. Good or Bad, you ARE moving forward!

You can make mistakes! It’s okay. Learn from them and move forward. Don’t sit in your mistakes letting it define you as a loser or failure. Get up, and you will persevere! Don’t be selfish and don’t take the easy route. Understand the process, grow within the Divine, and most important, Allow the Divine to grow IN and AROUND you. BELIEVE you deserve more! You are different and you are unique, but that is what makes you so special! Today is the day you discover greatness within!

So what! Yesterday was a bad day, it’s okay! Today you get to try again. Maybe that thing you wanted didn’t work last time! That’s okay! Today is a new day for new ideas! Today is the day you Embrace your unique spirit! Today is the day you stop listing to the voices in your head that say “you are not good enough”, “you’re not pretty enough”, “you’re not smart enough”, and “you’re not young enough”! Today is the day you say F That! Because you know “You ARE good enough”! “You ARE pretty enough”! “You ARE smart enough”! And yes “you ARE the perfect age today” to determine your unique self and live the life you want! Change comes when you decide to be changed! Change comes when you stop following the rest and you determine your unique self and take the chances today, to live the life you want tomorrow!

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO BELIEVE IT

SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE AWAKENING

CHRISTINA DITZEL Leave a comment

The awakening process kinda’ sucks! Or I could say “when you follow your intuition, life gets a little complicated”. What I am talking about is that moment when you know your different! That moment when you feel like a freaking crazy person! Like, everything you say or do people are like “umm?? huh? Standing there scratching their head looking at you like a mental case”! Seriously? Am I being irrational or is everyone else just unconsciously going through the motions of life?” It’s that feeling you get when your “changing” and the people around you just don’t get the “new you” at all? You Know what I am talking about! That feeling that has you believing in more, doing more, and yet it’s too hard to express yourself to those around you. Because every time you do….Well, you already know they will think your the weird one. Or they give you that look that comes across as “You’re insane!”

Do you have this sense of purpose straight down to the very core of your being, but you feel obliged to hide it away, to avoid hurting others? Are you experiencing a deep emotion inside of you that wants to crawl out of your skin, but you know if you said it audibly to the people around you, they would label you as crazy, insane, foolish, stupid or some other word that has “failure or loser” written all over it? Well that sucks! It’s like, “you know they’re going to have a ‘field day’ if you said or did what was really on your mind!” Yet, you still seek their approval. It’s like… “Ugh, wake up people! Life is meant to be lived and we are missing out!” Please don’t allow other people to dim your light!

If you said “Yes” to any of the above statements or questions, I want you to know that “I get you”! I get you, and you’re not alone! I know how it horrible it feels when you’ve found yourself in a place doing what everyone else in your life wants you to do, instead of doing the things that truly make sense to you. It’s like, “why do I always have to stay in the shadows, just to keep everyone else from getting their feelings hurt? Right? Well, you don’t! You are choosing to, but you don’t have to choose to anymore! It’s exhausting trying to keep that last bit of sanity, while people continue to “dumb down” everything in my great BIG world. And for what ? To boost themselves up, in their ordinary lives?Maybe I am just dreaming too big for their small minds! I don’t really know, but what I do know is that other people don’t have the vision that I have growing deep down to my very core, because they are not me! Likewise, those around you do have the same vision that you have deep down to the very core of your being! Bottom line! “They are sleep walking in their conventional existence, instead of waking up with intention!” My hope is those of you who are reading this make a decision today, to spend the rest of your days living in adventure, and with an eagerness for more!

Am I crazy or Are you just sleep walking?

Do you know what the opposite of sleep walking is? That’s right! “AWAKE!” Those of us that have experienced this “crazy awakening” process, have felt this sense of lack throughout most of our life. That lack comes from following everyone else. You know SLEEP WALKING. We have been listening to all the people who are just going through the motions, living in their predictable lifestyles, and belief systems. This is not a life most of us feel excited to “conform” to! As a result, sometimes we can end up outraged, indulging in sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, or some other appetite to full fill our short lived satisfaction, that burns inside of us! Some of us have abandonment issues from childhood trauma. Or maybe we have been told we will need medications to maintain our mood swings or attitudes. Some of us even try serial dating or consume ourselves in work!

Whatever the case, there is a stigma in this world that if we are not all doing the same thing, or if we are different than the rest, we should be labeled and cast out at a “crazy person”! Well, I am here to encourage you to pursue your purpose. Awakening your dreams and live the life you want today! If you have a “sense” that there is MORE to your life, you think and feel different than those around you, and you see things differently, well, you are probably waking up to your true self, and I would love to see you step into that life!

If you have ever felt like you should be listening to that “still small voice inside of your head” that says, “I am not crazy, I am just ‘self-aware’ and everyone else around me is just stuck in their belief systems and routines”. Well, I am here to tell you YES! Yes, you need to be listening to that still small voice that screaming at you to be YOU! Just do all the things that feel right to you.

Okay, so I get it, being in that place where people don’t get you, really sucks! I know! And I know this because I’ve experienced it for most of my life. I always felt like there was more to this life. Like people never understood the words that came out of my mouth. No one understood that there was so much more to me! And I just always felt like a freaking ‘mental’ person! But,you know what sucked even worse? Every time I did try to step out into that “more” or be different than everyone else, my life came crumbling down on me even harder and my life would spiral out of control!

I serious began to believe I really was crazy! I literally believed it so much, that I let people put labels on me like “bipolar”, “depressed” and many others. Furthermore, I allowed them to put me on medications like Prozac. As if that shit was going to make me feel any better! “Yea lets call her bipolar and put her on drugs”. Yea, because everyone with mental issues can’t get a handle on your thoughts without drugs! LOL, yea we see how far that shit got me! Right? I found a new love for all kinds of pills. Any pill that numbed my reality! That was my life!

Okay, so now that I went off in a tangent, lets get back to “The Awaking vs The Unconscious”. So the ‘Norm’ was the average life everyone else was living! This feeling of ‘going through the motions of life and never really getting to any real destination’. That was it! That was the purpose of being here! The irony of all that makes me, “me”!!! I became who I am today, because of “All my Crazy”! I am who I am today, because I actually “WOKE UP” to this idea that we are not supposed to just reside in this world being average but, we are designed to live fully, experiencing the world in our greatest sense! No matter how out of sorts that may seem to everyone else around us! We each have a purpose and until you wake up to our true essence, we are just going to live a life completely unsatisfied! No one teaches us to embrace our true self, because that would be out of the norm. And that is just “CRAZY”. Well, I totally disagree.

OTHER SIGNS YOUR AWAKENING

  1. Your drawn to nature
  2. You realize the health of your body is important
  3. You begin to dislike negative and unhappy people
  4. Awareness of things that are unseen by others
  5. Desire for community
  6. You become more intuitive to people, places and things around you
  7. Your not rushed and your world moves slower
  8. Your at peace even in difficult times
  9. You have an awareness and connection to nature and all living things
  10. You feel different and frustrated with loved ones belief systems

WAKING UP & EMBRACING MY CRAZY

When we decide to wake up and embrace thy self, we find some pretty amazing things happen! I have encountered so many amazing people, places and things along my journey through this life, that they have literally impacted who I am today! Strangers who have encouraged, supported, and inspired me to expand my horizons! Strangers who hold no significance in my life personally, but have been some of the most crucial impacts to my character today. Animals like snakes, birds, lizards and crickets coming into my path or even annoying me to get my attention. Everyone and everything that happens along this journey has some impact and meaning in my life. And yes each one has motivated me or influences my character and the actions I take moving through my day. Those of you reading this, that follow me on social media and reach out to me and share your life with me, your interaction influences me too! When we are AWAKE, we realize the connection between everyone and everything in life. When we are awake, we see life in amazing colors.

Where I didn’t feel good enough,

I persevered into being more than enough!

Christina Ditzel

Difficulty of Awakening

It’s not always easy, but I’ve learned that I must follow my own intuition and stop asking for everyone’s opinions. I only listen to the people who help me hold more weight in my current belief system. Realize that each season will change and so will your thoughts, ideas, actions and people that influence you. Always, remember that saying that reminds us “some people are in our life for a season, some for a reason, and some for a lifetime”. Constantly tell yourself “I no longer have to conform to the world, but I am free to live and experience the world any way I choose”! Eventually, the weight of fear, doubt, scarcity, and most of all that “label” that says I am “Crazy” or “unrealistic”, will melted away! The universe is always coming to us in to take on the burdens, and declared truth to us that says things like “You are the exception! You’re allowed to be the exception!”

Accept the signs that are given to you through everything and everyone. They are humans that send quotes that say things like, “The person who gets the furthest, is the one who is willing to do and dare”. It’s the song on the radio that says “You will never stop fighting for me”. It’s a lady at the grocery store that watches me and listens to my conversation with my daughters and turns to me to say “your a good mom”! It’s the message I listen to in the morning that says something that inspires me to do something different that day. It is you who follow me and comment on my blogs, videos and social media platforms that keeps me writing. When you are AWAKE, the Divine is everywhere always showing you a way through everything.

“Ask and it will be given to you

Seek and you shall find

knock and the door will open”

Mathew 7:7

Nothing happens by chance

Here’s the thing, we can knock the dam door down, but if we don’t WAKE UP, we won’t see it! Even if it smacks us across the face! People who spoke life into me and helped me have the courage to proclaim the truth for my life, only came when I was open to it. I know now my purpose, but I could not have been “Found” if I stayed unconscious just going through the motions of life. Sleeping in my everyday life was unsatisfying and until I embraced my true self, and I embraced it, I couldn’t see the miracles that were already happening all around me!

So, wake up and be aware of the people that cross your path. Nothing happens by chance! Everything is moving you forward, but you have to be wake up to see it. Stop listening to the unconscious and listen to those little messengers that guide you and try to lead your way. When you are awake you’ll notice throughout our time here on earth, nothing happens by chance and EVERYTHING has a purpose.

So, to conclude this blog, be enough for yourself and embrace your “weird” and ignore the voices of those who live unconscious! Think of this, “The constant assurance that just because I believe in more, I have the right to become MORE” is true in every manner! This allows us to step into our purpose driven life! How uncanny, that book (“Purpose driven life”) is in my living room because it was given to me at the exact moment, in the exact time, I needed it. I believe in Divine events, so Divine events happen all the time. Believe in something big and big things will happen to you too!

I don’t believe anything happens by chance, but I do BELIEVE

Everything that happens is moving us forward into our chance

Christina Ditzel

There are constant reminders that the universe sends to guide us into our purpose. But if you are too busy taking on everyone else’s belief systems and listening to those who want to keep you in a state of unconsciousness (just going through the motions of life), you won’t hear that still small voice guiding your paths. Be Crazy enough to AWAKEN the brilliance that lives inside of you and believe in the brilliance that is YOU!

How to Go from Pain to Purpose

CHRISTINA DITZEL Leave a comment

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com

“Your pain can be used for the Greater Good”

I know that sounds sooo cleche, but what if I told you I have used my pain to get closer to my purposeful & abundant life? What if I told you that you could literally change your circumstances (no matter what they are) and you can turn them into cash flow? Oh yeah! I just said cash flow! Are you with me now? Yea that’s what I thought!

The key here is that you can’t hear just “cash flow”. You should never go into something “GREAT” with “Greed” at the center of your reasoning behind your actions. So you got really interested in this article after you heard the words “cash flow” this article is for you. I want to help you lose the greed and come from a place of gratitude, love and humility. You must come at this with a MINDSET of feeling completely satisfied with your current situation and love your circumstances. That’s right, I said “Love your Circumstances”. And do you know why? Because your thoughts control your emotions, and your emotions get so over the top and out of control that it causes you to “act out” from these “feelings and reactions” that create your character. The person you are right now, today is only a result of your experiences.

You have this idea that the world your living in is all you have. This is it! Get up, go to work, to make the money, to pay the bills, eat, sleep, maybe party a little on the weekends, hang with the kids, invite friends over for BBQ’s, etc. etc. And no matter how hard you try to be happy and have fun, it is always short lived. You sit in traffic and someone cuts you off and your entire day is stressful and anxiety driven. You live in stress and anxiety each day and yet you wake up each morning to do the same damn thing over and over, day, after day, after day.

This routine you have found yourself in is what you call “your life”, And the people, places and things you surround yourself with are making up this stage you now call “Your Life”. Basically, you get all your experiences, which make up your thoughts, which then turn into emotions or feelings, which becomes “Your Character” in this world you actually created yourself. If you are still here I am excited to tell you that you have the ability to change your world! All you have to do is change the experiences you’re having right now.

How to Change your Pain into Purpose

Okay, so you know that “feeling” inside that you get when you smell something or hear something and it takes you back in time? You can literally smell, taste, hear or feel something that brings back a memory. Well now think of this, if you can use your senses (hear, smell, touch or taste) to experience an emotion or feeling of the past, how amazing would it be if you could make your senses experience what will become in the future? If I can take you to a place you remember in the past, who is to say I can’t take you on a journey into your future? Uh, it’s “AHmAzIIng”!

You CAN change your pain into purpose. For example, I overcame the pain I was in by changing the way I thought about my pain. I hated that the source of my relationships with men started with wanting to “save them”. It came from an expectation I had in the relationship and I expected that person to deliver. I have this desire to help men overcome some pain, abuse or addiction they have because of a tragedy that happened in my life when I was a young child. The past dictated my future.

Well, I decided that instead of attracting what I didn’t want in my life, I would begin to think of things that I did want in my life. So, I wrote down all the quality’s I didn’t want in my next relationship and all the quality’s I DID want in my next relationship. (You can literally do this for every area of your life. Work, school, health, relationships, success, finances, etc.) I then looked at the list and asked myself a really hard question. “Would that guy I “want” in my life, like the person I am today?” Obviously, my answer was a big fat NO!! But, I accepted that the problem wasn’t in the men I chose, but the problem persisted inside of ME. I was the problem! I was not attracting the kind of relationships I wanted because I wasn’t living a life conducive of that which I desired. Basically, I wan’t playing the right character for the part I wanted.

Look your stage can be filled with the most extraordinary settings, but if you don’t have each character playing the right part, the show won’t be the same. In fact, people will be asking for their tickets back! (Giggles) Why do you think Broadway has so many interviews before they choose the person they want to play the lead role? Why do you think movies are so engaging? The “Character” makes or breaks a scene. You can desire all you want, but if your character doesn’t fit the part you want to play, your movie will suck!!!

So how do you use your pain to reach your purpose? That is for you to decide! What is your pain? How are you thinking of your pain? Are you even thinking of your pain? You have to become the character of the person you want to be. You have to make a decision and take “A NEW ACTION”. You have to do something different in order to get different results. We hear this all the time! Einstein’s quote gets thrown around like a damn football on a field, but no one is actually taking the time to think of underlining meaning of it’s purpose. In other words, if “doing the same thing over and over again is insanity” Could it be that “do something different over and over again is clarity”?

“Doing something different over and over again Producing different results is Clarity”

By Christina Ditzel

So what do you want? You’re not going to get it doing what your doing now. If you have feelings or emotions that cause stress, anger, fear, guilt, or shame you are living in “Survival mode” and you will never receive fulfillment in that place. You need to take the pain you have and think of a way you can heal it. After you heal your own pain, reach back and pull someone else who is experiencing the pain you’ve overcome. Do it from a place of love, compassion, understanding, and humility.

When you do everything from this new place of selflessness, without an understanding of what you already know, but with a willingness to learn something new, you begin to experience a different journey through life. You begin to find yourself around people who you will resonate with, places that inspire you, and things that excite you. You will have a new view of life, you will find a tribe to hold you accountable, and you will grow and learn with every new experience. You will begin to build a world that will offer healing for yourself and for those around you. And you will do it with love, and without prejudice.

The key is that you have to be willing to DO what others won’t. You have to lose the fear, doubt and voices in your head that say “your only one person”, “your not enough”, “you don’t have the resources”, “you don’t have the skills”, “you’re too old”, “you don’t have the experience” or any other thoughts that may cause you to stay in the very moment you are in right now. You have to change your belief system, and you have to trust in it. Live as a new Character in your world that seeks clarity with your own rules. Use the pain to get you there, but always be led in “LOVE”, and you WILL FIND YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE AND LIVE IN ABUNDANCE.

May our paths cross in the near future!!
